I never will. Took 15 plus years of being miserable litigating to get to this point. I opened my acct in 01. I sure as hell wasn’t posting during those 15 years. Slammed working like a dog at firms
Bill Maher on Trans Wars

When I was full-time, I actually spent most of my time drafting. I haven't been to probate much because most of my clients are still many years away from death. There was something cathartic about that. Helping them plan and making them feel better about how they were leaving their kids. If there was a way to do only that and make a good living, I'd be cool with that. But I make three times as much money now, and crab legs ain't gonna pay for themselves.
Yeah that’s the rub. So cobble some stuff together. You know you like estate planning. Maybe that’s a third of your income. Keep building that and figure out other stuff you like to augment until you get to a 100 percent. Teach. Maybe consult in restaurant management. Or two days do that . Whatever. You have flexibility and that’s a huge deal.
I have friends who do this for criminal and it has worked out. My one buddy brought in an extra $100k last year using one of these outfits

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking of getting into edibles.
I know where you can get state of the art equipment for a song. In a back yard in Lincoln park under tarps
Last post and I’m going to bed. You don’t have a wife and kid. You can do anything!! You’re in such an enviable position. It’ll come to you.
Carry a copy of Gilead around with you. Read a random passage when you feel the heat coming on.
Do record Maher and watch the recording when desperate to watch something.
Maher calls himself a liberal but objects to some of what he terms as "woke" ideas.
Find some of his material really well written and his delivery is usually perfect.
Overall, the attacks on Trump by comedians such as Maher are way overdone in my book.
The animosity which permeates our political commentary by opponents of Trump and Trump himself is destructive to making progress in finding solutions about which a majority of us can agree upon.
Bottom line, Maher and Co. is only helping to further divide us.
I don't watch him other than the cherry picked clips posted on here. I've always viewed him as the transition from my parents or maybe grandparents Dem party to what we have today.
Hooky, the transition from your grandparent's days as a Democrat, or Republican, in respect to the comedians and politicians of today can be summed up in one sentence.
The current breed of commedians and politicians are about as much fun as watching your best friends having a harmful argument.
My best friend, a lawyer, retired recently. I always assumed I'd go to law school after the army and IU. He went to IU right after HS and was a few years ahead of me academically, although we are the same age.
So, he would tell me stories about his cases - divorce and wills, mostly. Then he told me how excited he was because he got a job as assistant prosecutor so he could have insurance.
I thought - wtf? You have to struggle to make enough money for insurance and you're part of a law firm? (His uncle was a founding partner)
I made the smart choice and didn't go to law school. He didn't even tell me about tracking your time for billing, which I absolutely HATED as a consultant.

I told my wife one of the guys on the IU board was saying you could make big money working for rental car companies.
She didn't believe me.
Another profession that doesn't make nearly what people think it does.
That's a weekly struggle for every consulting firm. I've yet to talk to someone who says, "oh yeah, we never have an issue with people entering their time." Glad I'm not in operations.
Girls who worked at the Hugger in Kokomo, who weren't doing drugs and supporting a deadbeat boyfrieds, were pulling in $1k+ per night in tips, easy. All their money - no sharing with the bar. And all cash.
Most spent it as fast as they got it, but some saved and invested, 'retired' early, and went on to a real job and were very well off.
Like life, some make it big while the majority are working schlubs like the rest of us.
Tell me more about this Hugger place. Sounds delightfully entrepreneurial.
I don't have shitter on ignore. He's too unintentionally hilarious.
And now that he's outed himself, it's even funnier.
One reason it makes headlines is because Democrats refuse to stop it, which means they support it 🤷♂️
I have two thoughts:
1. Until the governing bodies figure this out, this is the best way to deal with it. Everyone should just forfeit until the trans athlete wins the championship by default. Make the entire process a farce.
2. I know nothing about fencing; does sex really convey an advantage? Lots of movies about kick-ass pirate women suggest otherwise.
As long as only one trans girl wins every once in a while, this will mostly be a thing only among the people who really care about it. If everyone forfeits, and the trans girls win in every sport, all of a sudden it will be a huge story that will force people to act.
That's just complete BS though. Why should a girl have to forfeit the opportunity instead of the "adults" doing the right thing?
I know. Those kids never get that time back. And look at me. My spiral started at 23. Imagine if I’d have gotten fckd out of my glory years
Because if the adults won't step up, the kids have to force their hands.
A standard needs to be set and adhered to. No deviating. Catering to every individuals needs creates neverending issues.
Adults are stepping up. It's when politicians cut them down that needs to be addressed next. Crap like this is unbelievable.
Calif. rejects 'cruel' bill banning trans athletes from girls' sports teams
California lawmakers rejected a GOP bill seeking to bar transgender athletes from school sports teams amid the growing national debate.

Look, it's not the duty of these female athletes to be heroes, but if they take it upon themselves to be just that, they could force the hands, not only of administrators, but politicians, too. Sucks for them for what they'll suffer in the meantime, but nothing could force a change faster or more strongly than that. Just a straight up across the board boycott.Adults are stepping up. It's when politicians cut them down that needs to be addressed next. Crap like this is unbelievable.

What is the deal with these politicians. So weirdAdults are stepping up. It's when politicians cut them down that needs to be addressed next. Crap like this is unbelievable.

In the California example, I agree that it might be the only option. That is the result of a complete failure by adults though.
But in other states, it needs to happen via legislation whenever possible. The pro argument is "it's fewer than X people, so why does it matter". That's the argument for why it should be done though. Why allow a handful deprive the majority of equal opportunities in sports?
I'm not trying to debate the rights or wrongs. I'm just saying, if more girls did what this fencing girl did, change would happen a lot faster.
I would assume reach and length matter along with speed, but I’m not an expert on something that fancy
